Have you been able to give some alternative input to your boss about America and our president?

He was my ex boss he is living in France now, he sold up and moved. He only had low private pension and the State Pension so the only way he had of making some capital was to sell his house because houses in South East of England are very expensive and move to another area which is cheaper.

He often used to go to France for day trips etc and liked the atmosphere and life especially in the quiet relaxed villages that he used to visit so bought a property and invested the balance of capital to help finance his retirement.

I only got word re dog because he emailed a colleague to let her know that he had written his car off. Went into a ditch after slipping on icy muddy road. I then emailed him back to say I was glad he was OK. Which he responded to and told me that the dog was a Jack Russel.
